Fire leaves Williams scrambling for equipment

The day after marking its first win for eight years, the Williams team was left counting its losses after the post-race fire which overshadowed its first win in eight years.

"Everything in our garage is totally destroyed," Auto Motor und Sport quoted team manager Dickie Stanford, who mere hours after holding aloft the constructors' trophy on the podium found himself wielding a fire extinguisher. "Now I have to ensure that we have everything we need for Monte Carlo."

It is believed rival teams have already offered to help Williams to get up to speed for Monaco by loaning the team any critical equipment required.

One fuel-rig mechanic was pulled from the garage with his legs on fire, and airlifted to hospital, but no one was critically injured in the biggest pit fire anybody had seen in Formula One in recent memory.

The FW34 raced by Bruno Senna on Sunday, however, was in the garage at the time of the blaze and could be irreparably damaged. Race winner Pastor Maldonado's car was still undergoing checks elsewhere and so was not in the vicinity of the fire.
